UFC 86 medical suspensions: Quinton Jackson's leg under review

More than half of the UFC 86 roster has been suspended with injuries ranging from head and facial lacerations to shoulder and leg injuries.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today obtained the list of official suspensions from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which oversaw the July 5 event at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

Quinton Jackson, who lost his title and suffered a unanimous-decision defeat to Forrest Griffin in the night’s main event, is suspended until Jan. 2 for possible leg injuries, though he can be cleared early by a doctor.

Jackson was hobbled in the second round by back-to-back leg kicks from Griffin, though he had shaken off most of the effects from the blows by the third round. Jackson doesn’t expect the leg to keep him sidelined, MMAjunkie.com is told.

The full list of suspensions includes:

Quinton Jackson – suspended until Jan. 2 due to possible left knee, tibia, fibia and thumb injuries (can be cleared early by orthopedic doctor); minimum suspension until Aug. 5 with no contact until July 27 for precautionary reasons

Forrest Griffin – suspended until Sept. 4 due to right-upper-eyelid laceration (can be cleared early by doctor)

Chris Lytle – suspended until Sept. 4 due to laceration near right eye (can be cleared early by doctor)

As the UFC 189 tour made its last stop in Dublin, featherweight champ Jose Aldo was met with a torrent of abuse from the Irish fans. It might have been unpleasant, but it might also have been just what he needed.
